And seeing that we are on the subject of Cowboys. still....I do love a good Western...and the Spaghetti Westerns are my ultimate favourites..

and

Sergio Leone just had a great vision...and of course these films..

        and

Now I am warning you all now...these next segments  you might find boring...( you dont have to read it) I just love this particular Director and Composer so much....

The soundtracks to all of the films are fantastic...all composed by Ennio Morrincone..born in Rome on 10th November 1928.

Ennio who attended the same lessons as director Sergio Leone with whom he would form one of the great director/composer partnerships (right up there with Eisenstein & Prokofiev, Hitchcock & Herrmann, Fellini & Rota), Ennio Morricone studied at Rome's Santa Cecilia Conservatory, where he specialized in trumpet. His first film scores were relatively undistinguished, but he was hired by Leone for Per un pugno di dollari (1964) on the strength of some of his song arrangements. His score for that film, with its sparse arrangements, unorthodox instrumentation (bells, electric guitars, harmonicas, the distinctive twang of the jew's harp) and memorable tunes, revolutionized the way music would be used in Westerns, and it is hard to think of a post-Morricone Western score that doesn't in some way reflect his influence. Although his name will always be synonymous with the spaghetti Western, Morricone has also contributed to a huge range of other film genres: comedies, dramas, thrillers, horror films, romances, art movies, exploitation movies -making him one of the film world's most versatile artists. He has written nearly 400 film scores, so a brief summary is impossible, but his most memorable work includes the Leone films,  Roland Joffé's The Mission (1986), Brian De Palma's The Untouchables (1987) and Giuseppe Tornatore's Nuovo cinema Paradiso (1988), Once Upon a Time in America (1984).

If you havn't seen Once Upon a time in American or Cinema Paradiso..you should.....go rent them now....

Sergio Leone (Born 3rd January 1929 - Died 30th April 1989)

He was virtually born into the cinema - the son of Roberto Roberti (aka Vincenzo Leone),  one of Italy's cinema pioneers, and actress Bice Waleran. Leone entered films in his late teens, working as an assistant director to both Italian directors and American directors working in Italy (usually making Biblical and Roman epics, much in vogue at the time). Towards the end of the 1950s he started writing screenplays, and began directing.

Leone wanted Henry Fonda or Charles Bronson to take the lead in A fist full of Dollars,  but couldn't afford them. The two sequels, Per qualche dollaro in più (1965) and Buono, il brutto, il cattivo, Il (1966), were shot on much higher budgets and were even more successful, though his masterpiece, C'era una volta il West (1968), in which Leone finally worked with Fonda and Bronson, was mutilated by Paramount Pictures and flopped at the US box office. (But it is such a brilliant movie). He directed Giù la testa (1971) reluctantly, and turned down offers to direct The Godfather (1972) in favor of his dream project, which became Once Upon a Time in America (1984). He died in 1989 after preparing an even more expensive Soviet co-production on the World War II siege of Leningrad.

Sergio Leone also assisted in quite a number of other famous movies but was never credited for them..some of them were..
